Thanks Dave,
Not quite what I'm looking for. The problem with Outlook mails is that they
incorporate both html AND plaintext versions. The problem isn't with reading
the mails, but due to the amount of mail I receive, stripping the useless html
part of these multipart mails will result in substantially smaller mail
archives.
Regards,
Ruairi
